Transporting data element changes to other system

[Former Member]

I have custom Z table, it contains fields with custom domains. After moving this table to QA, we had to do some changes for domains.

Basically we have reduced the length of fields, due to this when we did database utitlity in DEV, data in the development system is refreshed.Before transporting these changes we checked the data in the QA and we are sure that all the data in the QA is within the allowable limits of the new domains.

But when we tried to transport these changes to QA, request is not moved, but it eneded with errors and it says 'Data type attributes changed, check dependant views'.

After doing the changes for domains, tables are reactivated but it didnt ask for transport request, because at table level we didt do any changes.

Please suggest me, before moving these type of changes do we need to carry any other steps.

The table should not have been included in the transport request, because when you activate the table it will not ask a request as there are no changes done to the table except the domains.

so now for this do the domain changes again into a different request and for the table to go into this request, just change the description of table (by deleting a word or adding a word to the description) and now the table is also in the request.

now again undo the changes done to the description as it might not be a relevant change which you did previously.

Now the request should be containing the domains as well as the table.

dont forget to regenerate the table maintenance if required.

Hi,

As you mentioned, all the changes including the table i have put into request and trasnported. Actually in the QA, when i checked the table status it says not avilable in the database, then i went and looked at SE14, it says Error in 'Conversion of data to new table, deletion of renamed table'.

when i checked the runtime object it says 'active runtime object and active source are inconsistent'. This is because for one of the fields current length and previous length is different. How to get the current properties for the active object. Due to this reason when i am doing databse utility it is giving error ' SIZE OVERFLOW' for that particular field.

Hi,

Change the domain desc and table name desc and active and bind to new transpor request and transport the request . After that Run database utility generator to adjust the lenght of the fields .

Hope this Info will help you.Rewards points if useful.
